This fruit was designed by God to be the bedroom so to speak with God and shared personally between two people, God and His beloved. Just as a husband and wife will share the fruits of their intimacy in a bedroom totally alone with no one around watching or listening, so God created this tree with its fruits to be shared with Himself and Adam alone or Eve alone. Sin did not occur until Eve shared the fruit with Adam, then she was sharing the one thing she was not allowed to share with her husband, that fruit that was meant for her and God alone. The penalty for Eve and her female descendants was that her “desire will be for her husband but he will rule over her. (Genesis 3:16).” This is another study in Hebrew but basically what it means is that a woman will try to gain from her husband that special love that only God can give. If she turns to her husband for it she will become frustrated and perhaps angry with her husband because He will be unable to give her what she deeply desires, something only God can give.

It would be unlikely that the original myth had two trees that were not polar, as is the case with the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life. Rather, Frazer suggests, the two trees were likely the Tree of Life and the Tree of Death.165 According to his theory, God gave Adam and Eve a divine test to determine if mankind would be mortal or immortal. God wanted them to be immortal,166 so He gave them a big hint: “Don’t eat from the Tree of Death!” Of course, human nature being what it is, that is exactly what they did, thus becoming mortal. If the fruit that Adam and Eve had first tasted had been from the Tree of Life, they would have lived forever, but having eaten from the Tree of Death, they could no longer be permitted access to the Tree of Life. That is why God stationed east of the garden of Eden the cherubim and the fiery ever-turning sword, to guard the way to the Tree of Life (Gen. 3:24). If Frazer is correct—and his theory has the ring of truth—it suggests that the original purpose of the myth, to provide the origin of death, was replaced by a shift to ethical issues, seeing the events of the Fall primarily as a sin against God. This would indicate that this biblical myth was considerably changed from its oral version when the text of Genesis was edited.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Howard Schwartz" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/howard-schwartz/sir-james-frazer-speculated-that-the-original-oral-myth-about-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/303/howard-schwartz-76782_adam_sir-james-frazer-speculated-that-the-ori_2339637.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/303/howard-schwartz-76782_adam_sir-james-frazer-speculated-that-the-ori_2339637.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/303/howard-schwartz-76782_adam_sir-james-frazer-speculated-that-the-ori_2339637.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Sir James Frazer speculated that the original oral myth about the Garden of Eden was not about a Tree of…” — Howard Schwartz", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 38, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“How does the capacity to do evil exist, if that capacity is not within the creator as well?

I'd forgotten all about that part of my conversation with Scott! Utter humiliation. I curled into a tighter ball. “Oh, come on. You haven't even thanked me yet.” “For what?” I asked, still not looking. “For saving you from snogging that plonker. You didn't really fancy him, did you?” My cheeks burned, and I was glad to be turned away from him. I kept my mouth shut. “So that's it, then?” he asked. I ignored him. “I always wondered what it would feel like.” That made me curious enough to turn to him. “What what would feel like?” I asked. “Rejection.” He seemed in the midst of a revelation. “What are you saying? That no girl has ever told you no?” “Not one.” Well, that explained a lot. “And what about you?” I asked. \"Haven't you ever stopped or said no to a girl?” He laughed as if I'd said something ridiculous. \"Why would I do that?” “Lots of reasons,” I said. “Never mind, just go to sleep. We have a long day tomorrow.” I turned away from him again, punching the thick pillow and laying my head down. “I suppose I did refuse one, but she doesn't count,” he said. “Why not?” “Because she was Neph.” Discomfort gnawed at me. “This must be the part where I take a cold shower?” he asked. “Good idea.” When he was in the bathroom with the water running, I jumped down and changed into my pajamas.

Even as a kid I had a sense of it being slightly illicit. As though someone had slipped an R-rated action movie into a pile of Disney DVDs. For starters Adam and Eve were naked on the first page. I was fascinated by Eve's ability to always stand in the Garden of Eden so that a tree branch or leaf was covering her private areas like some kind of organic bakini. But it was the Bible's murder and mayhem that really got my attention. When I started reading the real Bible I spent most of my time in Genesis Exodus 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings. Talk about violent. Cain killed Abel. The Egyptians fed babies to alligators. Moses killed an Egyptian. God killed thousands of Egyptians in the Red Sea. David killed Goliath and won a girl by bringing a bag of two hundred Philistine foreskins to his future father-in-law. I couldn't believe that Mom was so happy about my spending time each morning reading about gruesome battles prostitutes fratricide murder and adultery. What a way to have a \"quiet time.\" While I grew up with a fairly solid grasp of Bible stories I didn't have a clear idea of how the Bible fit together or what it was all about. I certainly didn't understand how the exciting stories of the Old Testament connected to the rather less-exciting New Testament and the story of Jesus. This concept of the Bible as a bunch of disconnected stories sprinkled with wise advice and capped off with the inspirational life of Jesus seems fairly common among Christians. That is so unfortunate because to see the Bible as one book with one author and all about one main character is to see it in its breathtaking beauty.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Joshua Harris" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/joshua-harris/i-especially-loved-the-old-testament-even-as-a-kid-i-had-a-sense-of/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/144/joshua-harris-8529_action-movie_i-especially-loved-the-old-testament-eve_121975.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/144/joshua-harris-8529_action-movie_i-especially-loved-the-old-testament-eve_121975.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/144/joshua-harris-8529_action-movie_i-especially-loved-the-old-testament-eve_121975.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I especially loved the Old Testament.
